How It Happened
Keene State goalkeepers
Molly Edmark and
Victoria Watson combined to make 14 stops – seven each – but Trinity had too much offense and far too many penalty corner chances for the Owls to weather over the 60 minutes as they dropped their third straight to open the season. The Bantams, meanwhile, continued their stretch of regular season non-conference wins. They have not lost such a contest since 2015 against Wellesley.
Trinity had six different players score in the contest, including three in the opening quarter as they built a 3-0 lead. Jackie Frank found the back of the cage 4:37 in before Katrina Winfield and India Shay scored 46 seconds apart with less than four minutes to go in the first. Edmark, who played the first half in the KSC cage, made four stops in the second quarter, but the Bantams were still able to add to their lead when Caelin Flaherty scored in the 27th minute, the first of her two goals on the evening. Emma Cohen also had a pair for Trinity, both coming with less than eight minutes to go in the game.
Watson made six saves in the third quarter and seven overall in her 30 minutes of action. Edmark took the loss, but has made 17 saves in her two appearances at home this season. Emma Cropper (1-0) and Olivia McMichael each played a half in the Trinity cage, with neither needing to record a stop.
